Your questions re browsers Re Displays - ultra high resolution, full colour miniature displays have been available in prototype form for at least 2 years (I've been working with them). They are extremely impressive. A web page is perfectly readable on a 2.5 inch screen. (try this experiment. Sit about 3 feet away from your monitor. You can still read, right. Now frame the screen with your fingers. What is the size of the frame?) re memory - memory is a factor in 'phones, but not PDA's. The real problem - Bandwidth of the underlying, presumably wireless, link. Packet data services are likely to remain relatively expensive because of bandwidth limitations. Hence the development of WAP and web-clipping to maximise the utility of a limited resource. The browser, per se, is independent of this problem.
